At Soft Health & Healing Clinic, injury rehabilitation is similar to traditional physiotherapy using exercise and stretching, as well as shockwave or electrotherapy.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave wave therapy sounds scary, but it is not. The name implies that you will be shocked in some way – in reality, only small pulses of sound energy are applied to the injured area.
The purpose of the therapy is to trigger the body’s own natural healing response.
Many people report that their pain is reduced, and mobility improved after the first treatment.
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that involves creating a series of low energy acoustic wave pulsations that are directly applied to an injury through a person’s skin via a gel medium. The concept and technology originally evolved from the discovery that focused sound waves were capable of breaking down kidney and gallstones. Generated shockwaves have proven successful in a number of scientific studies for the treatment of chronic conditions.
Shockwave therapy accelerates the healing process in the body by stimulating the metabolism and enhancing blood circulation to regenerate damaged tissue.
Microcurrent
Electro-therapy is certainly not a new thing. Many treatment facilities and patients use TENS machines for pain.
Rather than TENS, at Soft Health and Healing Clinic we use two medically advanced electro-therapy units.
The Eletro-Acuscope and Myopulse are engineered to work at very small electrical levels, called pico amperage.
Research shows that when micro-current amperage is in the pico AMP range, the cells’ ability to store energy (capacitance) and cellular health increases.
The additional charge makes the cells healthier and enable the body to heal itself dramatically quicker.
Exercise Therapy & Stretching
If you want to feel better, you have to move better. Injuries will creep back into pain, dysfunction, and lack of mobility if proper rehabilitation to the injured areas are not addressed.
For many of us, the very word “rehabilitate” sounds and feels like work. We too often hear “I should be doing my exercises, but…”. It is a reality that life gets in the way, and compliancy is low. But our hope is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to properly optimize your recovery, without leaving you feeling overwhelmed.
We will provide you with an individually-tailored therapy program, teach you how to do the movements and provide support and encouragement to reach your treatment goals.
